Gary's comment was in another thread.See post #49viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8200&start=40I thought I'd create a topic in case there are any full rollers out there seeking axis rotation and hook.

Thanks to the folks that take the time to make bowling material available on YouTube.

Smallwood gets his hand in a very powerful and efficient position under the equator of the ball, what I mean is inefficient is having the hand on top of the ball because you won't be able to transfer all of the energy you created with your legs, most of it will be lost at release. I am almost a full roller 3* axis tilt and have a very powerful release because of where my fingers are at the moment of release.

I think drill affects track. my old LT-48 just got signed at a pba50 event by Johnny Petraglia, but, before I had him sign it, I took it out and threw a few games with it.

I threw a clean full roller with it. right between the holes. I even tried to see if I could get it to track outside the thumb. I would get a track rings width past the thumb or hit it. when I threw it like I usually throw my equipment, it went back to a full roller. can't explain it except its the layout. I could hook it some. maybe 5 boards.

makes me think with a certain layout we could all throw a full roller. it might be different for each bowler. if thats possible, then it could be done in reverse for a bowler who thorws a full roller to track outside the thumb.
